Pownce

I’ve been messing around with Powne lately. It has some interesting elements, particularly the ability to file share. I also like how it ties different services, but Friendfeed does that way better. It seems to be a slightly expanded Twitter, and I am trying to figure out how I can use this. Anyone else using this heavily? What do you think?

 

I guess Scoble’s comment sums it up: “I can’t take many more social networks.”

It's amazing how quickly these social networking sites grow without your even attending to them. I got a Facebook account down at the University of Oregon as a way to contact sources. You'd be amazed how many people put their phone numbers up there. But now I check it at least three times a week.

I joined MySpace at a friends request, and it's also grown quite a bit.

I have avoided Twitter, and plan to continue avoiding it. This comic sums up my feelings:

Sometimes I'm tempted to get rid of my computer, but then something inside me weeps.

Cute comic. I've heard keys clicking in bathroom stalls, so I'm sure this is someone's reality.

I got my Facebook and Myspace accounts while researching social sites, and then let them languish. Once I was found out by friends, though, it was a whirlwind.

I can't imagine getting rid of a Mac willingly.

Driving along in Kirkland , home of the modern yuppie, I’m passed by a new Mercedes. Lovely, silver, shiny, new, bling-bling; a part of me loaded with insecurity twinges while I purr along in my Toyota. Why? How come this is a metric of my self-esteem? Am I being unfair to myself, being upset by this train of thought and it’s influence? Consider, please, how much this viewpoint is drilled into us. Look at how often this imagery gets pushed into our faces, and how long that’s been going on. It shouldn’t surprise me, really, that I sometimes feel this way. Though my conscious values oppose this, the lingering thread of this programming has threads into the depths psyche.

Pitfalls of distraction

With great ease, I get sucked into random distractions. This frustrates me no end. Actually, the worst past of the feeling isn't due to the lingering tasks. I end up feeling distracted, fragmented and worn; I hate that sensation. I love the feeling of moving forward, accomplishing goals with a direction and focus. Of course, I adore helping people, especially those I care about. The right balance, oh how I long for thee!

Under sunlit trees  Cold air sitting in judgement  I still stop and gaze
